I'm totally with you. Give the man a GOMtv icon!
Thanks to Mr. Chae to help esports/SC2 to grow even more.

Actually the Japanese and Korean days of the week are based off the five Chinese elements (water fire wood metal earth) plus the moon and the sun.. This naming system is obsolete in chinese nowadays but the planets are named for the elements. So it's a coincidence that it coincides with roman days of the week... Jupiter is wood-star, Venus is gold, mars invariably fire, Saturn earth lol, mercury water...

oGs-TL is already a thing. Liquid guys aren't mercing out when they're already an integrated part of a team. oGs for that matter doesn't consider them mercenaries, they're teammates.

That's interesting, cus in spanish we learned that the spanish names for days were also based on the planets
not only in spanish, in french and italian too. Jupiter Venus Jueves Viernes Jeudi Vendredi Giovedi Venerdì and the planets are based on the roman gods, who were based on greek gods too. roman jupiter = greek zeus roman venus = greek aphrodite It's actually also the same in English and German, only with a tiny difference. The Nordic and Germanic people weren't quite so happy with referring to the roman gods and so they were allowed to use their own. To use French - German as an example: Lundi - Luna - Mond (Moon) - Montag Mardi - Mars - Dienst - Dienstag (Wedsnesday is Mittwoch in German, which just means "middle of the week" :/) //Anyways French - English: Mercredi - Mercury - Woden/Odin - Wednesday //The German "Mittwoch" is apparently adopted from the Gothic calendar which does not refer to gods at all. It seems as though Polish and Russian calendars adopted this calendar also. Jeudi - Jupiter - Thor/Donner - Donnerstag Vendredi - Venus - Freya - Freitag
i'm learning so much on TeamLiquid forums! Jupiter and Venus are cool and logical group names.

F.United... what a name :S I hope I get to watch every single GSTL , gom is awesome <3
|
GSTL looking better and better with each change. Keep those changes comming.

Just noticed that the Fox + Foreigner team play oGs week 10. I think GOM is trolling us hard here. >_<
|
I say!
I knew about the whole Thursday and Friday situation, but 2 foreigner teams? This is really great news. I am quite curious who the third foreigner joining FOX's bid is. There are a couple possibilities that occur to me as to the shroud of secrecy there. We'll just have to wait and see.
Nani and Thorzain are such beasts, and FXO as a team is no slouch either. I'll be wishing them all the best.

huh? I don't understand this. Since it is a league format, each team will play against every other team, round robin style. Before the final rounds, which will be similar to the teamleague. So, I can only assume you think when they lose they will be out? But that's not the case right, so it doesn't matter if they the team with the strongest players overall. Hmm, sorry just looked at the schedule and it clearly says there's multiple weeks so I'm wrong in assuming you weren't aware of that. I just don't understand then haha. Maybe there's an MLG or?
Also, wow so cool. WeMade <3 with MooN and Lyn. Nani, Thorzain, SaSe? <3 OMG !!!! FXO got a really fair group I feel. Zenex, fOu, HoSeo and Startale. I think they will do well :D
SO COOL!!! SO HYPE!!! Foreigners Fighting!!
|
oh man group A looks so tough lol besides F.United all the "weaker teams" (Zenex, NS_Hoseo, fOu, FXO) seem to be in group B :O
|
I wasn't sure about buying a new ticket for this season, but with these great news, I can't say no. Thanks alot!

Actually friday is not from Freya, but from the god Frigg. It's a common missconception.

Aww you gotta feel for poor fox! They only have 3 players!. It is so cute that they are ale to compete now!
|
SlayerS got this obviously. IM got the easy group, which is good because the SlayerS - IM final is guaranteed, and beating IM is always very enjoyable. 
Let's get this going!
PS. Noooo don't call it F. United. I want Nani and Thorzain to be on WMF, it sounds much cooler that way.
